Raiders fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and two coaches after loss to Bengals

The Las Vegas Raiders announced early Monday morning that they have fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, offensive line coach James Cregg and quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello following Sunday's Week 9 NFL loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium.

All three played in their first season for the team, which fell to 2-7 with its fifth straight loss.

Former Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Desmond Ridder, signed by the Raiders from the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad last month, replaced starter Gardner Minshew in the second half on Sunday. Ridder threw a touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter, his first with the team.
